aircraft weighing system Market

The aircraft weighing system market is expected to grow at US$ 102.76 million in 2019 and is projected to reach US$ 133.03 million by 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2020 to 2027.

Aircraft such as wide-body, narrow-body, and general aviation are engineered and certified to operate within certain weight range, and balance limits as exceeding these limits can be unsafe. As per the National Safety Council (NSC), the total number of accidents involved a US-registered civilian aircraft surged from 1,315 in 2017 to 1,347 in 2018. The crew's actions and their mistakes in calculating the weight and balance lead to the loss of control of the aircraft during takeoff, thus, causing accidents. The risk of having a weight-related accident with cargo flights is much higher than passenger flights due to errors in the load sheet and incorrect loading. Various prominent aircraft weighing system market players are actively involved in developing and producing efficient weighing systems for all types of aircraft. The aircraft weighing systems resolve most of the weight and balance problems with accuracy during the weighing operation. Thus, owing to growing concern related to safety of aircraft is fueling the growth of the aircraft weighing systems market.

The floor scale models can be paired with a range of digital indicators, software, and accessories for a complete weighing and data management solution. When an aircraft is placed on the scale and balanced, it sometimes has to use component in order to support the weighing procedure. For instance, to weigh a taildragger airplane, it is essential to elevate the tail to get the airplane level. To level the airplane, a jack is placed on the scale and is used to lift the suspension point line. The floor-standing weighing system includes a load cell, placed on an aircraft jack, and an aircraft is lifted until the weight of the aircraft is suspended by the load cell. An aircraft requires to be in a flight level attitude when it is weighed. If an aircraft is sitting on floor scales, the only way to level the aircraft might be to deflate tires and landing gear struts. When an aircraft is weighed using a floor-standing scale, leveling the aircraft is easy by simply adjusting the height with the jacks. Increasing deliveries of various aircraft are expected to surge the demand for the aircraft weighing systems market during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 outbreak has decimated the demand for aircraft globally, which reflected significantly lower volumes of orders among the airframe manufacturers, which resulted in a lower number of airframe production. The decline in production volumes adversely affected the businesses of various component manufacturers and associated technologies. Thus, the aircraft weighing system market players' businesses have been severely affected by destabilization in aircraft production
